Maintenance Engineering has evolved from being a purely technical discipline to a strategic enabler of organizational success. In The Industry 5.0 era, where human-centricity, sustainability, and technological integration redefine industrial practices, maintenance engineering plays a pivotal role in ensuring that physical assets perform reliably, efficiently, and sustainably throughout their lifecycle. The shift from reactive to proactive and strategic maintenance requires a deeper alignment with asset management principles and an adherence to robust frameworks and standards.
Key models such as the Asset Management Lemniscate and the Asset Management BowTie, alongside standards like EN 17007, EN 15628, EN 17485, and ISO 550XX:2024, provide the foundation for integrating maintenance engineering into broader asset management strategies. These frameworks emphasize the importance of structured maintenance processes, categorized into Management, Realization, and Support processes, which align maintenance tasks with organizational objectives, lifecycle planning, and risk mitigation.
This article explores the evolving role of maintenance engineering amidst Industry 5.0, focusing on its alignment with advanced standards and frameworks. By examining its processes, interactions, and impact on organizational resilience, we highlight how maintenance engineering transforms from a technical necessity into a cornerstone of sustainable and strategic asset management.
